Brilio.net - The appearance of signs of aging is certainly nothing new for adults. Wrinkles and fine lines will appear as you get older. However, these signs of aging can appear more quickly, especially if you are frequently exposed to risk factors that speed up the aging process.
Scientifically, aging is influenced by reduced collagen and elastin production in the skin as we age. Collagen and elastin themselves are important proteins that keep skin supple, soft and elastic. When its production decreases, the skin becomes thinner and saggy, triggering the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Apart from age, there are also several external factors that accelerate the appearance of wrinkles on the face. Exposure to UV rays from the sun is one of the biggest factors that not only damages collagen and elastin, but also evaporates natural moisture which is important in maintaining healthy skin. Apart from that, an unbalanced diet and lack of hydration also accelerate skin aging.
To overcome the problems above, of course you can't just rely on skincare products , because after all, skin health is also supported from within the body. So, one way to nourish the body from within is by using juice that is a mixture of vegetables and fruit. One of them is using a mixture of carrots with beets and lime, as demonstrated by @priyaaa14391 as reported by briliobeauty.net on Sunday (4/2).

Carrots are vegetables that are known to be rich in vitamins. Summarized from the Healthline page, vitamins A and C carried by carrots play an important role in stimulating the skin regeneration process and giving birth to new skin layers. Carrots also contain antioxidants from vitamin E to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Plus, the vitamin K compound in carrots can also help increase blood circulation to the skin, thereby reducing the signs of aging that appear.

Reporting from Be Beautiful, beets are a type of tuber that contains high levels of antioxidants, such as betacyanin. This component effectively helps fight free radicals and protects the skin from damage caused by sunlight which causes aging to occur quickly. In addition, the high vitamin C content in beets can increase collagen production in the skin layers, so that in the process it will improve skin elasticity.

Extracts from limes are actually rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin C has an important role in stimulating collagen production, so it can help smooth wrinkles and fine lines that appear on the skin. The high antioxidant properties in lime can also help nourish the skin to make it stronger and minimize damage caused by exposure to free radicals.
